Though he came over as the London-borne prince of dubstep, a club sound known for refracted rhythms and sculpted sub-bass frequencies, Mr. Blake has softened up and slowed down on stage, adapting to a new kind of digital singer-songwriter mode.

It's not a simple matter of preferring the songs with tunes – Story to Be Told is as disorientating and uncommercial as anything here, but there's a bracing vitality about its atonal vocal samples and sub-bass frequencies entirely absent from, say, Teqkilla's enervating din.

It is only fitting that Trentemøller would team up with Bug and the label, as his sound is minimal, yet funky and dark, heavy with menacing synths, and deep, deep sub-bass, yet always melodic and pretty in the same songs.
